Meet the face of FemWellness, Dr. Timea Belej-Rak, and learn how she can help you in your journey to better health.

Is there anything more valuable than trust in another person in our day-to-day interactions? This is never more important than when you may be facing a personal health challenge and building your team to assist you in addressing your medical issues.

For women who may be facing fertility, hormonal or menopausal issues, a key member of their team may be Dr. Timea Belej-Rak and her FemWellness Integrative Women’s Health clinic, located in Richmond Hill, Ont., and whose special skills begin with one basic human trait — the ability to listen.

“When I started practising, my patients actually introduced me to different modalities that had worked for them and approaches beyond my traditional training as a Western medical doctor. So, I started exploring other areas of medicine that could be helpful, as we cannot help all patients with conventional treatments,” says Dr. Belej-Rak.

“We offer you traditional Western medical treatments, as well as an alternative path to your well- being”

Her background speaks to this health and wellness journey. She completed her doctor of medicine degree in 1999, followed by specialty training in obstetrics and gynecology, and a fellowship in gynecologic reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She has accomplished all of this while facing her own journey of fertility challenges, SARS and cancer, and has pursued her whole health medicine qualification to bring peace and healing to her patients, in addition to certifications in functional medicine and bioidentical hormone therapy.

Dr. Belej-Rak says: “You have to participate in your journey to well-being, and it is my mission to inspire you to reach for your highest goal. I envision a world where we learn to trust ourselves and our health-care providers and therefore are accountable and in control of our own health and well-being.”

“The team at FemWellness practises a different approach to health and well-being, as each patient is different and must be treated with personalized care,” Dr. Belej-Rak says. “We offer you traditional Western medical treatments, as well as an alternative path to your well- being, in addition to a functional medicine approach, looking for the root cause of your illness and a preventative hormonal initiative to help you reach your optimal health goal.”

Dr. Belej-Rak’s philosophy and the FemWellness approach are the integral components when seeking partners to deal with personal medical challenges. “By offering you tools that are outside the box and empowering you with information and innovation to help you navigate your journey, I think we can achieve wonderful results.”
